Modern fuel systems have fewer troubles than the carburetors of yore, but your vehicle's fuel system will still need to be serviced. While modern fuels are cleaner burning, the addition of those additives can actually increase the risk of build-up on your engine over time.
Varnish is one of the big reasons for a fuel system service. Over time, varnish builds up on the metal components of your engine and impacts the seals within your engine. Varnish is functionally the residue of unburned fuel and fuel components. Instead of getting burned up in the combustion process, varnish burns onto the pistons, rods, and other crucial parts of your engine. By getting your fuel system serviced regularly, you can be sure that your vehicle will burn efficiently and produce less varnish.
Injector residue is also a concern for those with newer cars. Every time your vehicle engine sprays gas from an injector into the combustion chamber, residue can be left on the injector. Over time, your injectors get dirty and don't squirt as efficiently. Getting them cleaned will keep them working longer and reduce your risk of having to have them replaced.
